Two years ago, the Typ 64 body getting its final work. Rear decklid, hinge, frame and skin was time consuming.😎 --------------------------------------------------------- VW60K10/Porsche Typ64/Berlin - Rome wagen - 38/43 Mathé recreation Some updates on the built of the VW60K10/Typ64 car. Have been working on the wheel covers/spats with good fit and also making the fastners, took a lot of time but it was worth it. We have also worked on the engine lid with frame, skin and hinges. Hinge geometry was a challenge, very sensitive to bind if you don´t get the angles correct. The hinges was TIG welded and it all seems to work fine now. Also very tight with space around the left side air cleaner, the Mathé car has cut the cleaners in order to get them to fit, we will try to avoid this little design flaw. Next up is to fit the engine lid skin to the frame and get a nice gap of 3.5 mm all around, this will take some time, but front lid and doors are done so we know the drill. After that the plan is to design and built the seats, steel tube frame with aluminum cover.

Here are some more info and pictures from the now 8 years long built since we decided to go ahead. It is built in aluminum as the original, three of these cars was built by Reutter 1939-40 and only one of them still exists today. The three cars were intended for a race between Berlin and Rome. The race was cancelled due to WWII. Pictures shows some stages of the built, models made for testing and the wood buck.

Update: April 20, 2022 Milage: 2352kms Today I drove the the Typ 64 for a total of 252kms. Car ran well, lots of gusty winds today, you could see the lorrys moving all over the place. Trip went north and it was also time for a very nice coffee break at Bosse "Bildoktorn" Andersson, Swedish TV and Radio celebrity. I brought sponge cake and he and his lovely wife had fresh coffee and sweets. Bosse have many years experience at SFRO as a technical inspector, this is the organisation that checks and passes all privately built cars and motorcycles here in Sweden. Two hours of nice talks about everything!😘 The church in the background is located in Myresjo and was finished already in year 1150 at this location.💪 Bell tower to the right. Took the last pic when I stopped for sandwich and drink on my way back home. Greetings from Sweden.

Third recreation drive this week in the Typ 64. Nearly 4000 kilometers now in this car since finished. Very nice and mild autumn so far. Todays drive was also mainly on gravel roads, one stretch was newly sufaced and very loose on top, great fun.😎 Here are some pics from today and also a fantastic pic from the early 1940´s. Early KDF Beetles.....and look at the end of the right row...........😉 ------------------------------------------------ Tredje rekreationsresan den här veckan i Typ 64. Nästan 4000 kilometer nu i den här bilen sedan den blev klar. Mycket fin och mild höst än så länge. Dagens körning gick också främst på grusvägar, en sträcka var ny sladdad och väldigt lös på ytan, jättekul.😎 Här är några bilder från idag och även en fantastisk bild från tidigt 1940-tal. Tidiga KDF-Bubblor.....och se i slutet av den högra raden........😉
